Asha visits The Church of 8 Wheels in San Francisco and meets The Godfather of Skate David Miles

No trip to San Francisco is complete without going to the legendary Church of 8 Wheels, a roller rink in an old catholic church. It is run by The Godfather of Skate David Miles who also lead the Original San Francisco Friday Night Skate and the Black Rock Roller Disco at Burning Man.
Listen to David's story, his top skate tips, his favourite signature moves and his recent inclusion in a new art exhibit at San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art. David is celebrating 40 years of skating in the city and is responsible for a very positive Golden Gate Park attitude towards skating (where there is a skate only public rink area (The Skatin Place, 6th Avenue and Fulton).

Hmm. 6 wheels in the church of 8 wheels.. Isn't that blasphemy? 😏

This guy is wonderful. If I'm ever in San Francisco I shall rent some quads and pay hommage to The Man. And go on the Friday night skate, on inlines. Great video. Glad you are having such a good time. Why skinnyvision?

Muito bacana a sua entrevista. É muito legal poder conhecer junto com você as pessoas das cidades que você passa. A patinação faz com que todos nós façamos parte de uma grande família. Seria muito legal se você também pudesse nos apresentar lojas especializadas em patinação por onde passa, nesse seu tour pelo mundo. Me leva rs.
